A flower was then a joy, a mystery,105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikz4Ql9b9d
And not a petal, root and simple stem,105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO20su5dOYy
And life was full of wondrous fantasy,105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPJDMLAccA

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu3CnqtNyn
That time is gone now; it cannot return,105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu4iCNDofZ
The fruit's been swallowed; its slow poison kills,105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkku2MdOblX
And yet my fallen heart will always yearn,105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWHFAK2uBs
For that most happy time of unknown skills.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k9qJyNAiK
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIyVdD82w0
Oh false god, knowledge, daily you destroy,105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNey425OdkX
All that was holy in me as a boy!105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqeffY6Chy
